Since I have made it a habit to say mean things in the video description of every Julius Randle video I make, in this video description I’m only going to say good, positive things. Actually, all I’m going to do is make a list of good, positive things since it’s too much work to weave…

Ivica Zubac 10 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (3/12/2017)
After getting 4 blocks in the first 4 minutes of the game, Ivica “Zuu” Zubac failed to notch another one for the rest of the game. What a disappointment. Obviously his 1 block per minute rate was unsustainable. Obviously. But I was at least hoping for 1 block every 2 minutes, which is not unreasonable….
Read MoreJordan Clarkson 30 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (3/12/2017)
The Lakers have had a lot of turnover the last few years. I was pretty sure Jordan Clarkson was the longest-tenured Laker on the roster, but I was totally wrong: Nick Young has him beat by one year. Still, Clarkson has to be considered one of the Lakers’ core pieces at this point, since they’ve…
Read MoreIvica Zubac 14 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (3/9/2017)
I was going to type up a big long description with a bunch of words about how Timofey Mozgov hates Ivica Zubac for the latter stealing all of the former’s minutes, but then I realized, Mozgov probably doesn’t care very much about his minutes situation given how much he’s getting paid right now. Perhaps Mozgov…
Read MoreJulius Randle Triple Double 13 Pts/18 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (3/7/2017)
On a night where some dude on the other team scored some big round number of points, Julius Randle was off doing his own thing: contributing to the league’s ever growing triple-double count. I think this is number 81 on the season. Crazy! It seems like just a few years ago we hardly ever saw…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 16 Points Full Highlights (3/5/2017)
Now is about the time in the season when I start clamoring for unlimited minutes/shot attempts for the rookies around the NBA. I can’t complain, though, about the leeway that Brandon Ingram has been given this year, and agitating for even more opportunities wouldn’t make sense. The Lakers’ coaching staff has shown an incredible amount…
Read MoreJulius Randle 23 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/28/2017)
I think every single assist that Julius Randle got in this game was off a dribble handoff. No fancy passes in between defenders, no alley-oops, no cross-court bounces for easy dunks, just Julius dribbling his big body into the defender to act as a screen while his teammate shoots it. I mean, that’s a great…
Read MoreBrandon Ingram 22 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2017)
It’s taken about 3/4ths of the season, but Brandon Ingram has, at long last, accomplished the “Have An Actually Good Game” achievement! Congratulations! Not the most prestigious achievement, truth be told: according to Steam, 91.3 percent of NBA players have earned that particular one, above only the “Play In The NBA” one, which has a…
Read MoreIvica Zubac 11 Points/3 Blocks Full Highlights (2/24/2017)
Is it just me or does Ivica Zubac look older now than he did at the start of the season? Before you explain to me the nature of time and how he looks older because he is in fact five months older now than he was at the beginning of the season, be aware that…
Read MoreD’Angelo Russell 29 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (2/24/2017)
Magic Johnson might not have ruined the Lakers yet, but he’s already done something far, far worse: he ruined this highlight video! Attention Lakers TV people: when people tune in to watch basketball, that’s what they want to watch. Basketball. They don’t want to see a huge face talking about this that and the other…
